Unlike current carbon capture methods, the new material remains stable and effective at high temperatures — ranging from 200 to 400 degrees Celsius — which makes it effective in capturing emissions from industrial streams, according to chemistry graduate student and co-first author Rachel Rohde. “What we hope as scientists and engineers is that we can invent technologies that make decarbonization as feasible and as quick as readily possible,” Rohde said. According to Rohde, research on this material began in 2020, when she and postdoctoral fellow and co-first author Kurtis Carsch started studying zinc hydrides — highly reactive inorganic compounds.
